Strasbourg to Stuttgart Route Overview

This route links Alsace with Baden-Wurttemberg, crossing the Rhine shortly after Strasbourg and then joining Germany's main rail axis through Karlsruhe. A distinctive feature is the mix of French TGV INOUI and German ICE trainsets on the same international corridor, so seat layout, catering, and onboard announcements vary by departure. Reservations are standard on the international TGV INOUI services and often included with booked tickets; on ICE services, the ticket and seat reservation rules can differ by fare, so check the selected departure before payment. Passport checks are not routine within the Schengen Area, but travelers should carry valid ID when crossing the France-Germany border.

Practical Information for TGV INOUI and ICE Travelers

Luggage rules on Strasbourg to Stuttgart trains depend on whether the departure uses a TGV INOUI or ICE trainset. Keep bags labeled and small enough to lift into racks or storage areas yourself.

Luggage Allowance

On TGV INOUI, passengers may generally bring 2 large bags with maximum dimensions of 130 x 90 cm each, plus 1 item of hand baggage. ICE trains do not use a strict weight limit for normal passenger luggage, but bags must be manageable by one person and fit in onboard storage spaces.

Storage Facilities

TGV INOUI and ICE trainsets have overhead racks for cabin-sized bags and larger luggage areas near carriage entrances or between seat backs. Keep valuables with you, especially during stops at Karlsruhe or other intermediate stations.

Strasbourg to Stuttgart Map

The Strasbourg to Stuttgart rail route starts at Strasbourg-Ville, crosses the Rhine into Germany near Kehl, then runs through the Upper Rhine corridor toward Karlsruhe Hbf. From Karlsruhe, trains continue east across Baden-Wurttemberg toward Pforzheim or use faster mainline sections before reaching Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof. The route links Alsace, the Rhine plain, and the Neckar region rather than using a domestic French high-speed line for most of the trip.

The train links Strasbourg-Ville and Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof directly in about 1 hour 18 minutes on the fastest departures, avoiding airport transfers at both ends. Buses between Strasbourg and Stuttgart usually take about 2 hours 30 minutes to 3 hours 30 minutes depending on traffic and the exact stop used. Flying is rarely practical for this city pair because there is no useful nonstop air link and connecting flights take much longer door to door. Rail also produces lower emissions than a car or flight-based routing on this short cross-border corridor.

Plus, it’s a greener choice, reducing your carbon footprint
